“He said he was there to train men for jihad,” and everyone who heard
him say it knew that what he meant was that he would be training men to
commit acts of violence against non-Muslims.No one thought that he
meant he would be training men for the interior spiritual struggle to
better themselves. Yet at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum,
Muslim leaders are angry at the Museum’s depiction of the hijackers as
waging jihad for the sake of Allah, even though that is what they
themselves said they were doing. It is, in other words, an official
dogma in the public square today that jihad is peaceful and benign, and
only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise. The only people who blithely
ignore his dogma and continue about their business are Islamic jihad
terrorists.“‘Carloads’ of terrorists turned Oregon ranch into training camp,” by Rich Calder, New York Post, April 23, 2014:

An Oregon woman says she thought she was opening up her
family’s ranch to local Muslims to teach them how to grow and can
veggies — and that her husband was even expecting a tax write-off.But US-born Muslim convert Eva Hatley testified in Manhattan federal
court Tuesday that after the “carloads’’ of fellow Muslims she met
through her mosque arrived at the 160-acre ranch in Bly in 1999, the
couple watched helplessly as their home was turned into an al Qaeda training camp.“It wasn’t anything like I envisioned for the property,” insisted
Hatley, testifying at the trial of one-eyed, hook-handed hate preacher
Abu Hamza al-Masri.Hatley, a two-time witness-protection-program flunky who prefers going by her Muslim name, Ayat Hakimah, said other Muslims from London would soon arrive on al-Masri’s orders.Hatley’s then-husband, Ivan Rule, was temporarily out of town
“shepherding” while his longtime ranch was being overrun with
terrorists-in-training, she said.According to al-Masri’s lawyer last week, the camp was similar to
being in the “Cub Scouts,’’ with the men riding horses, tending to
little lambs and telling campfire stories.But Hatley said one of the arrivals, militant Oussama Kassir,
boasted about previously running training camps in Afghanistan and
being a “hit man” for Osama bin Laden.She said Kassir told her that al-Masri was his “leader” and that
al-Masri sent him and others to the Bly ranch to create a “training
camp” where men would learn to shoot guns, throw knives and do
calisthenics along open, spacious fields abutting a ravine and desolate
dirt roads.“He said he was there to train men for jihad,” she said. “He said that Abu Hamza sent him. He intended to train them to fight.”The visitors, she claimed, said the ranch resembled Afghanistan.She added that some had CDs with information on how to make
poisons to “kill people” and regularly “talked” about “robbing and
killing truck drivers” on nearby roads.

Kassir, she recalled, claimed there were plans to eventually dig a hillside compound at the ranch for al-Masri to hide out in.“I was shocked,” said Hatley, who claims she fled the ranch in fear in December 1999, four months after moving in.During cross-examination, al-Masri’s lawyer Jeremy Schneider painted
the gun-loving Hatley as paranoid and having a shady track record.She admitted to him under oath that she agreed to marry her husband
after only their first encounter — and had tricked him into thinking she
had money.She claimed she feared that Rule — who was married four previous
times and had 18 kids — wanted to kill her and had “suffocated” his
previous wife to death.When asked if Rule, al-Masri, Kassir or others who stayed at the
ranch had ever threatened her, she said, “No, but I am still afraid.”Hatley went into witness protection in 2004 but was kicked out years later for telling one of her new neighbors her secret.She was given a second chance, but the feds booted her again after
she violated multiple rules, including driving with a suspended license.Besides setting up the training camp, al-Masri, 56, is accused of
conspiring in a 1998 kidnapping in Yemen that resulted in the deaths of
four tourists and committing other terror crimes. He faces life in
prison if convicted.Kassir, a Lebanese-born Swede, was convicted in 2009 of plotting to
help al Qaeda recruit by trying to set up a weapons training post at the
ranch and distributing terrorist training manuals over the Internet.
